I turned to see where the camera was. “Where the heck is it?”
He chuckled, stepped around me, and pointed to a screw on the stainless steel. I looked at him. “You’re kidding? That screw is the camera?”
“Yep, the lens is painted with a special paint that is see-through for the lens, but people on this side only see the head of the screw.”
“That is crazy. Where are the rest of them?”
Harvey walked me around the kitchen, pointing them all out. Then he took me to the fridge and freezer to show me those. There were no cameras inside the units, so we had to hope that whatever was done, was out here in the open somewhere.
“Wow, this is kind of amazing. I’ll be able to see everything.”
“Yes, but I suggest here at work, you only view the four main cameras. Otherwise, someone else might see all the other views.”
I looked up at the ceiling. “Where is the fourth camera?”
“In the employee locker room.”
“Oh!” I turned to him. “How will I know if something happens?”
“Well, we can watch it from time to time, but if you think that something might have happened, you let me know, and we can check the video. Just try to give us an approximate time so we can narrow it down. We will start recording tomorrow morning when Mike makes the system live. We will keep the footage until we don’t need it anymore.”
“Okay, so I guess I have to wait for someone else to get sick. Then I can pull the order and find the times on it.”
“Yeah, that would work.”
“I hate that someone else is going to need to get sick.”
“Yeah, that does suck.”
“It’s killing my reputation. Ever since I started in this industry, I have had a spotless kitchen, and now I have a bunch of complaints on my name.”
“I bet that’s hard.”
“It’s horrible.” I sighed. “Okay, what else do you need to do?”
“Just clean up and get someone to pick me up.”
“I can take you home.”
“Um…” He hesitated, and I put my hand up.
“I can take you home and behave myself. I promise.”
“You sure?”
“Absolutely. You load your stuff by the back door, and I’ll go make sure everything is off and locked out front, then we can go.”
“Alright, if you don’t mind.”
“Not at all.” I hustled out front to turn off the coffee maker and a few lights and then came back to the kitchen to start turning the lights off. Harvey had his tools and two bins by the back door already. I collected my bag from the office and turned off the rest of the lights.
I helped him load his stuff into the back of my SUV and then climbed behind the wheel. The minute he closed the door, I started to freak. Holy crap, we were inside my vehicle together. There was no place to run here.
I gripped the steering wheel tightly and turned the key. “What direction?”
He gave me directions, and we were mostly quiet on the ride to his place. He only lived about fifteen minutes away, and when I pulled into his driveway, I was surprised to see the two-story house. Not sure why I pictured him living in a townhouse or apartment, but I had.
I turned the car off and went to get out, but he put his hand on my arm. “I can get it.”
